Grow Peace in LA

Come to share ideas on how to rise, love, resist, and build together in this tumultuous times. We will be sharing concrete actions and ideas for you to get engaged in the movement to support refugees and other immigrants. We will provide snacks; feel free to bring something to share.

Make YOUR resistance visible. We will have copies of these wonderful signs for you to distribute with friends, family, neighbors and local businesses. Can't come? Print them and share a photo of the creative places you’ve found to display the image. Send it to us or post it to our Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram account.

*We will also create a space to raise awareness of the urgent humanitarian crisis happening in Yemen and U.S. role in this issue. We will be at Pershing Square with a big pink sign. Join us! We may go to LAX to protest the Muslim Ban afterward.*

Please contact Aria Pakatchi at 510-725-9494 if you have any questions.

One Billion Rising is the biggest mass action to end violence against women. The campaign, launched on Valentine’s Day 2012, began as a call to action based on the staggering statistic that 1 in 3 women on the planet will be beaten or raped during her lifetime (not including trans women). We will rise in solidarity against the exploitation of women - mostly immigrant, trans, indigenous, and homeless women, who are the ones that are more exploited and who face more violence. Join us as we join hands and dance for justice and peace for women all around the world!

*Women is an inclusive term reflecting all those who identify as female.
